AVS Australia has forged
a long-term partnership with IAMS Limited in New Zealand
to secure the BEST® system, a range of engineering
tools and services that provides a holistic approach
to structural wood pole assessment, for Australia.
AVS assessments are based on noninvasive and nondestructive
methods (TMXScan) and allow the user to assess serviceability
on the basis of actual pole loadings. Handheld devices
are used by field inspectors for data capture and analysis.
Desktop design of existing, new or replacement structures
can be carried out without the need for site visits
by engineers. Full compliance with Australian Standards
AS 4676 and ESAA C(b)1 is assured.
The BEST® system is
objective, reproducible and accurate, and eliminates
all subjectivity from structure assessment. Baseline
inspection using TMXScan can be undertaken
by line inspectors at no greater cost than current work
systems.
Data capture and residual
structure strength quantification, provided by the AVS
system, gives asset managers a comprehensive understanding
of the serviceability of either a single structure or
group of structures. The AVS system allows in-depth
analysis of any number of structures from a single pole
up to an entire distribution system. Moreover, the system
is comprehensive, with AVS being able to provide all
training, mentoring, audit, data analysis and support
services.
Key results of this comprehensive
analysis are detailed in, but not limited to, the outputs
below:
"In
collaboration with our partner and clients, we are proud
of our achievements and the bring about of innovation
in the electrical industry."
